Do you think it should be the same age for all the states? I do.

To expand Pitt,

The biggest reason I see for my double standard of beleiving it doesn't damage a young man and does a young girl is this.

At age 25+, I became pretty skilled at reading women, and while I couldn't necessarily get any woman I wanted........developed ALOT better Game. Those same "skills" vs an unworldly? 16 year old girl, is like poaching with a spotlight. Its not right. I think it can do some emotional dammage.

I think the majority of 16 year old young men, are just happy to not have to have rubbed that one out themselves.

You don't interact with a lot of teenage boys do you?
The dude is 16 years old and banging his teacher because he can, you moron. She let him. Please quit acting like he's a victim. This is the problem, society thinks that since you've come into your sexuality and not 18 (an adult by society's standards) then you are being taken advantage of. Their lives are now in ruin and will turn out to be a drug addict because the 16 year old couldn't mentally handle their teacher giving them a blow job in the school parking lot. Please!!! :cuss:
This guy loved it or he wouldn't have been there, and I bet is bragging all over the school campus.
Hey just think about it, I'll bet most of these guys areTom Liches 101 students.

I know a few teachers I had in school that I would have loved to have banged. It wouldn't have screwed me up 10 years later. I'd still be bragging about it at the age of 40.

What the **** is this?

It seems as if you all have come to a consesnus that the legal age of consent OUGHT to be lowered to 16, or 15 for that matter. Perhaps that is the real issue of this thread and we should be debating whether or not that is a good and right thing.

You're deluded.

Uhhh, no. Pervert. And hey, that dog in your avatar doesn't look like it's of age, or consenting.

ROFL

I have 4 nephews in the 11-14/15 range. I'm sure they all want to get into some girl's pants, and probably jerk-off to thoughts of teachers and librarians and lunch ladies. I also don't think any of them are emotionally equipped to deal with a sexual relationship with an authority figure thats 10 years older than them. Go take a look at a 13 year old, 40% of them barely have fur on their bag.

I'll say that I think 16 is probably closer to being able to deal with it, but that's assuming it's an average to above average 16 yr old in terms of maturity. Some kids aren't that developed, even at 16. I don't want the law to have to determine that on an individual basis. I'd rather they play it safe and treat them all like kids.

Doesn't say much for your adult social life...

I'm willing to bet that your studies don't translate well to the "female teacher / willing 16 yo male student" scenario very well.

Yeah, you say as you have the 9-1 already pressed on your phone with your finger hoovering over the last 1. I'm on to you.

I'm pretty sure that's what got Michael Jackson in all this trouble.

I figured I was pouring gas on myself with that comment...

Disclaimer: look at him with his clothes on, in a non-sexual way.

So, clearly, a male teacher should be able to bang a 16 year old girl because "she let him."

WHAT? Now I got to put his clothes back on? Make up your mind.
